This chart should be used as a helpful guide, please ask your supplier
for more information or to find out the type of oil you are buying.
Shelf life can vary greatly depending on storage containers, location,
opened, etc.
Most oils can successfully be frozen for longer storage.....you may
also add natural anti-oxidants or preservatives
(I prefer to refer to
them as extenders) to increase your shelf life, some examples are mixed
tocopherols, ROE, wheat germ oil.....
